Chapter ~ 2
Khushi was amused overhearing whatever Arnav Singh Raizada, famous as ASR ordered to the owner of Mr. Sengupta. He almost blackmailed him but for something good. She turned and looked at Arnav Singh Raizada meanwhile ordered her assistant, "Keith! Please ordered everyone that no engagement party is planned by our team on the cruise"
"But Mr.Sengupta is ready to hire you again", intervened Keith.
She closed her eyes tight, "You know the rules of the team?"
"Yes ma'am.", Replied Kieth and continued by Khushi, "then go ahead"
She turned back and was about to leave the deck when she heard, "this is a cruise ma'am, not going to go back"
She immediately turned back to retort back, "What do you mean Mr. Raizada?"
"I want to ask what are your team's rules ma'am", Arnav rubbed his hands.
She rolled her eyes, "1. We don't take back the order after insulting 2. We aren't going to pick up the job again after throwing out 3. We don't keep a single penny of the previous order", saying she continued, "Happy?", Then gave a fake smile.
He itched his brow and cocked it up, "this is what I want to say 1. This is my order 2. I have not thrown you out 3. You and your team can't stay here for free"
Khushi realized now why he is called the best businessman in the country. He knows everything about his surroundings and keeps knowledge about the people in whose contact he remains.
He clasped fingers on her face, "and one more, Raina has favored you a lot, wouldn't you favor her"
"Mr. Sengupta?", She was confused.
"I will handle him...you know how", smirked he at which she smiled and was about to leave when he asked, "you know me. But I don't"
She licked her lips, "Khushi"
"Khushi what?", He asked.
She rolled her eyes and while departing she smiled, "Gupta...."
"Bye. Ms. Gupta has a great work", completed him at which she whispered, "thanks to
Mr. Raizada", and left the duck so that she can prepare for Raina's engagement, which was tonight.

At the party, Arnav was clicking his champaign glass with his fingers as was waiting for someone and at the same time, he had a look over the stairs on which her heels were making a clicking sound. She was looking to another side as was explaining something, with her hands. She was adored in a light blue soft net backless prom gown, all kissing her toes. She has semi curled her hair and pinned one and of the hair strand behind her ear.
He couldn't take off eyes from that mesmerizing girl. He has just met in the morning. Her almond-shaped eyes were widened as the bar was empty and no one was interested in having a drink.
She immediately ran on the stairs when her heel slipped on the stair when two arms caught her and she has closed her eyes tight, but realized that she was in the sky so she opened them and looked into the eyes of the person who has saved her and now settled down on the floor.
She managed her dress and jewels, "I am really sorry Mr. Raizada....and thank you", and immediately she ran towards the bar counter and scold bartender which remained Arnav who was suited in a black three-piece suit with a bow and check square vest, in laughter, while arranging his brow.
"Why the counter is empty?", She asked the bartender.
The bartender replied, " I don't know ma'am maybe nobody wants to have a drink"
When the same time Arnav appeared and looking at Khushi ordered, "one beer please", the bartender took a deep breath.
She left the counter and checked the snacks, "why only non-vegetarian, we are famous for the vegetarian right"
"Bengali engagement maybe", the waiter excused.
"I don't know anything, no one has to be disturbed okay", she warned and checked the lights when someone called her, "Ms. Gupta, juice", Arnav appeared again. She snatched the glass asked, "why are you following me Mr. Raizada"
"I am just arrangements", he said loudly which made her nervous, "don't get nervous", she heard.
She licked her lips when he said, "do you have a habit to nervous"
"No." she made a childlike face.
"So chill everything is fine", said he which adored a smile on her lips.
And at the same time they heard a toast, "ladies and gentlemen, Raina and Ronit", and everybody started hooting.
When Arnav confessed, "I don't understand this marriage matter"
"Me too. ", Said she.
"We are the same yaar", said Arnav being Frank.
"There is no life in marriage", said Arnav with moist eyes, looking at him, she disagreed, "no marriage and life are parallel"
"But I love childhood", she said with moist eyes.
He looked at her, "no childhood is nothing especially when you have seen....", And he stopped.
"If you don't want to confess, be fair with yourself", said she.
"No. I want to", replied Arnav.
Arnav looked at her and he was about to confess the hooting sound increased and the waiter came, "ma'am you were right veg is hit"
Proud Khushi smiled and Arnav let it be.
Let's dance, he offered his hand to her...
"I don't know to dance", they both said in unison at which they laughed and danced a little together. The aroma and closeness were enough to dance together.
The singer of the band started singing,
Baate kuchh ankahee see, kuchh ansunee see hone lagee
Kabu dil pe raha naa, hastee hamaree khone lagee
Woh o o o o o woh o o o o o woh o o o o o
Shayad yahi hai pyar
Baate kuchh ankahee see, kuchh ansunee see hone lagee
Kabu dil pe raha naa, hastee hamaree khone lagee
woh o o o o o woh o o o o o woh o o o o o
shayad yahi hai pyar, shayad yahi hai pyar
They danced together and Arnav swirled her finger and she took few rounds with laughter when he cracked a joke.
He snatched her from the waist and with the velocity he snatched her she landed on his chest.
Keh de mujhse dil me kya hai, aisa bhee kya gurur
Tujhko bhee toh ho raha hai thoda asar jarur
Yeh khamoshee jine naa de, koee toh bat ho
woh o o o o o woh o o o o o woh o o o o o
Shayad yahi hai pyar, shayad yahi hai pyar
Woh shayad yahi hai pyar
They remain quiet as they could hear each other's breathing clearly, and the closeness was increasing the breathing too.
She came to her senses after a while and with blushed she left his hand touching her fingers with hers. She rolled a little and left the duck.
They both reached their own suite and settled down on the bed...
Tu hee meree roshanee hai, tu hee chirag hai
Dhire dhire mit jayega, halka sa dag hai
Yeh jeher bhee yu piya hai, jaise sharab ho
Woh o o o o o woh o o o o o woh o o o o o
Shayad yahi hai pyar, shayad yahi hai pyar
She gulped down a glass full of water to quench her thirst and blushed again crimson red so as she checked his suit which has a little lipstick mark and at this, he laughed so she too joined in her own suite.
Baate kuchh ankahee see
Kuchh ansunee see hone lagee woh
Kabu dil pe raha naa, hastee hamaree khone lagee
Woh o o o o o woh o o o o o woh o o o o o
Shayad yahi hai pyar, shayad yahi hai pyar
Shayad yahi hai pyar.
She laid down on her bed hiding her face and he kissed the lipstick on the suit.
